2 Year Check-up

Thomas took Carter to the pediatrician for his two-year check-up last week. You won't be surprised to hear that, at 38.75", he's still super tall. However, his weight, which always used to be about 50th percentile, is now closer to 90th percentile (a little over 31 pounds). What all this means is that he's somewhat better proportioned - but still a beanpole!

The child-height-predictor at ParentCenter.com predicts his height at age 18 to be 6'8" - same as his Uncle Patrick! Time will tell...

Here's some of the fine print on the calculator:
This prediction is a "best guess" but it's still just that -- a guess. Based on the formula we used there is a 50 percent chance that your boy's full-grown height will be within 0.8 inches (above or below) of this prediction, and a 90 percent chance that it will be within 2.1 inches.
Oh, and it also mentions that it may not work well for children that are exceptionally tall. But it's still fun!

Just like his papa; although Parc turned out "normal," teehee, giggle.

So Patrick and Thomas can give him guidance on how the world looks from up there.
